Memo to Planning Commission Page 5 September 24, 1996 • The applicant is proposing an area of deciduous shrubs and 2 ash trees along the frontage road. The zoning code requires 15 trees based on the formula of dividing the perimeter of the property by 40. The applicant should revise the landscaping so that it complies with what is required by the zoning code. • Grading and drainage A grading and drainage plan has been submitted to the City Engineer for his review and comment. • Architectural features The applicant is proposing a painted metal warehouse. The zoning code requires that 75% of the exterior of the building consist of materials on the list of approved exterior building finishes. Painted metal is not on that list. The applicant should provide elevations of the building showing that it complies with the requirements of the zoning code. However, should the property be rezoned to light industrial as proposed, the percent of the exterior finish that consists of material on the approved list is reduced to 25%. • Existing signage and storage • The existing signage exceeds what zoning allows. The signage on the site should be made to comply with the sign ordinance. The semi-trailer that is currently parked on site and used for storage should be removed prior to the issuance of a building permit. Recommendation It is recommended that the Planning commission recommend approval of the request for a conditional use permit to construct a second principle building on the site to be used as a warehouse with the following conditions: 1. The proposed 2 driveways which provided access to the site from the frontage road be reduced to one. 2. The demonstrated parking area has to be shown on the site plan. 3. The existing paving shall be patched and resealed. 4. There shall be no pavement within 10 feet of any property line with the exception of the area to the north of the existing building where pavement will be allowed within 5 feet of the property line. •
